Jem and the Holograms Fans, Meet the the Live-Action Movie's Leading Ladies

Happy Friday, '80s babies: Your favorite shock-haired songstress from childhood has just gotten a real-life counterpart in Nashville's Aubrey Peeples, who will play Jem in the Jem and the Holograms live-action movie.

Turns out Layla is blowing up in the country and pop-rock worlds.

Rounding out the cast is Hayley Kiyoko, who will play Aja; Stefanie Scott, who will play Jem's sister Kimber; and Aurora Perrineau, who will play Shana.

Director Jon M. Chu tweeted this first glimpse of the girls in character today:

If you ask me, these Holograms are way more exciting than Tupac et al. No offense.
